Previously, due to the impact of floods in 2023, the Hieu River bank through Moc Duc and Truong Xa villages, Cam Hieu commune suffered serious landslides with a length of about 0.5 km. Of which, the river bank through Moc Duc village was eroded 150 m, including a landslide that encroached into the asphalt concrete road from 0.5 - 1 m, 30 m long and a landslide section 1 - 2 m from the asphalt road surface, 120 m long.
Faced with this situation, Cam Lo district allocated 470 million VND to temporarily reinforce the landslide section with a 70-meter-long rock cage. However, after the impact of the recent storm No. 4 , cracks appeared on the surface of this temporary embankment and the construction unit continued to reinforce it with cement concrete.
However, recently, due to the impact of heavy rains in early November 2024 until now, the temporary reinforcement point of this embankment continues to crack and expand and shows signs of tilting and sliding to the riverbank.
According to Chairman of Cam Hieu Commune People's Committee Mai Chiem Hiep, the crack stretches along the roadside for more than 70 meters, with a crack section about 0.12 meters wide, the subsidence is 0.1 meters lower than the road surface, and tends to tilt towards the river bank. Currently, the locality has put up warning signs and directed the village executive committee and people to continue monitoring and promptly report if there is an incident.
“The landslide area has been temporarily reinforced but not completely. Every time there is heavy rain, cracks continue to appear. This causes concern for people living in the area as well as vehicles passing through here.
The locality hopes that all levels and authorities will soon invest in a solid riverbank embankment system, connecting it with the existing riverbank embankment to ensure safety," Mr. Hiep added.
